Today I went to the shop for new outer en inner tubes
openend the chain protector and removed the wheel and old tubes. The outer tube has no profile and holes like Britney Spears. The inside of the wheel
sanded and painted with hammerite. Now I'm typing while the paint dries.
Next is to mount everything in the opposite order.
(if I can remember)

Well... it really was yesterday... I had a shower and slipped on the floor. I have some bruises in nasty spots and I cut my toe on the drain.

Sunny, spring is in the air! It will be cold again after the weekend, so I'm enjoying it! Worked in the garden today.

Appeared in Donald Duck 17-2008:
Dear uncle Donald. In one issue {5, deleted from original message} you were sleepwalking. I did that too a couple of times. Fortunately that never
had any serious consequences. Although I once wrote something on my leg and once I woke up from my own voice (I was talking to a poster) {several
experiences were cut here}. If you startto sleepwalk again, you'd best put a wet mop next to your bed, so you'll wake up immediately when you get
out.
"Thank you for this (untranslatable joke) tip, Bonny. As a thanks you get this Donald Duck T-shirt!"
{Actually I got the blue one, not the white one in the picture.}
Donald:" I'd better dress warm before I go to sleep! Who knows where I'm going to walk!"
Sorry Punky. Didn't do any drawing.

no reason to apologize, but I'm not sure I understand how keeping a wet mop by your bed will wake you up. Is this another pun I'm not getting?
It's a darling little story, though.

It's true! A mop will stay wet all night, and if you feel something wet and dirty at your feet you should wake up.
(It didn't work for me. If I can sleep thru earthquakes I can walk over wet mops whilst snoozing.

It starts cleaning the floor while you're asleep, and then you gradually start to feel the room getting cleaning and cleaner and this wakes you up.

Is the joke something about sleeping? Why is sleep sometimes slaap and other times slapen? Can Donald fly?

slapen = to sleep.
slaap = sleep (noun).
Donald can't fly. The only stories I've seen where he flew, are where he turns into Superduck or where he is given the power of flight by his guardian
angel.
Uitgeslapen means "done sleeping", not sleepy at all. it's not often used as adjective for "tip", but it's not uncommon either.
 Love the cleaning joke! Reminds me of how, when I was a kid at school, we'd
often have to walk on cold shower tiles with bare feet, after PE. I hated that, and most classmates did too.
One popular work-around was to shuffle on your towel (standing with your feet on it, of course). But as it would inevitably lead to the teacher's
quirk "You don't have to mop the floor!" it gradually lost popularity.

I don't understand Raves and Ravers. Maybe you need to be on their drugs to get it.
